No — Gyros is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, minimally processed ingredients.
Gyros is made from sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and spices, which are basic culinary ingredients. Sulfur dioxide is used as a preservative to retain color, but it is a simple preservation additive rather than an industrial formulation that makes the food ultra-processed under the stated criteria. Overall, this is not classified as ultra-processed.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
